For each of the following functions, find the extreme value of z (this can be either max or min), subject to a given constraint by the method of direct substitution.
(a) z = xy, subject to the constraint x2 + y2 = 16 (Note that there are four solutions.)
(b) z = 3x2 − 10xy + 12y2 , subject to the constraint y = 20 − 1/2 x
(c) z = xy, subject to the constraint x − y = 2
(d) z = x2 + y, subject to the constraint x/y = 2
